My Jealous and Beautiful Villainous Wife (ABO) - Chapter 14

Seeing Long Xiao’s smile fade and his silence return, Si An’s irritation inexplicably intensified.

Wasn’t this mouth so eloquent yesterday? Now it’s gone mute again.

Si An stared at Long Xiao for a moment, their eyes locked in a silent battle of wills. Neither looked away first.

Are you bored?

The words, spoken from pale pink lips, carried a hint of mockery.

But this time, the Omega’s question was genuine, born of genuine curiosity, with no intention of mocking or taunting the Alpha.

In response to Si An’s question, Long Xiao nodded, his expression unchanged.

Yes. My only daily task is to come see you.

As the words fell, Si An’s pupils flickered.

Watching Long Xiao’s characteristic directness, his complete lack of self-consciousness, Si An felt a genuine surge of admiration.

Regardless of anything else, Long Xiao’s straightforwardness and candor were qualities Si An would strive to emulate his entire life.

Si An briefly averted his gaze, but only for an instant, before meeting Long Xiao’s eyes again.

…Then you really must be very free.

Long Xiao nodded in agreement, his gaze fixed on Si An’s icy blue eyes.

Mm.

His only pressing matter was pursuing Si An.

He was indeed very free, far more so than his busy beloved.

Observing Long Xiao’s nonchalant demeanor, Si An fell silent for a moment. He had initially felt a flicker of annoyance, but now, inexplicably, he couldn’t muster any anger.

The Alpha across from him seemed genuinely oblivious to any offense.

Were you angry just now?

Long Xiao’s sensitivity to Si An’s emotional shifts was unexpectedly keen.

Though perhaps it shouldn’t have been surprising, considering he had been watching Si An intently the entire time.

The sudden question interrupted Si An’s train of thought.

Si An snapped back to attention, meeting Long Xiao’s gaze. The Alpha’s exterior remained cool, but his eyes burned with intensity.

A sudden tenderness softened Si An’s heart, and he quickly changed the subject.

You never seem to look at your phone when you’re with me, Si An remarked, his lashes lowering slightly, as if it were a casual observation, not something he particularly cared about.

Long Xiao instinctively glanced at his phone, picked it up, and replied, Oh, that’s not true.

I’m still not used to using phones. On Dragon Island, we communicated entirely through h… through communication stones.

The moment the words left his mouth, Long Xiao realized how uncool it sounded and hastily corrected himself.

However, while Long Xiao thought nothing of his slip-up, he received an incredulous stare from the Omega.

Though Long Xiao had casually changed his tone, Si An had still caught the original phrase.

The Alpha had almost said, We communicated entirely through shouting.

Si An fell silent, momentarily speechless, and felt an urge to laugh in exasperation.

Omega had considered many possibilities, but never imagined it would be this.

The little man in Si An’s mind facepalmed, but his expression remained calm, only a slight twitch at the corner of his eye betraying his exasperation. This reason was simply too abstract.

Hearing this, Long Xiao finally seemed to remember something. He turned to Si An and said, Si An, I want your contact information.

The warm yellow light illuminated the Alpha’s sharply defined features, his golden eyes focused and direct, his deep voice resonant and pleasing.

Si An let out a soft sigh, feeling inexplicably drained, as if he lacked the strength to even move a finger.

He merely nodded, his gaze lowering quietly. His fingertips tapped a few times on his phone, displaying his friend code, which he held out for Long Xiao to scan.

Unfortunately, for a little country dragon who had just arrived in the city, scanning QR codes to add friends was still beyond his comprehension.

Long Xiao only wanted Si An’s phone number he had no intention of adding him on the green messaging app.

Thus, all Si An saw was a pair of puzzled eyes.

The Alpha sat there, his beauty almost otherworldly, radiating an aura of noble indifference, strength, and reliability that inspired awe. Most people wouldn’t even dare strike up a conversation with him.

Yet, in reality, he was just a newcomer to the city, a country bumpkin who hadn’t even figured out how to use QR codes.

Si An met Long Xiao’s clear gaze and sighed softly, a deep, weary breath.

He closed his eyes briefly, his pale golden hair cascading to his chest as his thin, rosy lips parted slightly.

…189xxxxxxxx, he murmured, his clear, low voice sounding almost like a reluctant surrender.

Long Xiao obediently entered the phone number, typing Wife as the contact name. The corners of his narrow, affectionate eyes crinkled with delight.

I’ll text you every day, he said.

Si An nodded, his own expression softening slightly as he watched the Alpha’s obvious joy.

Don’t text too much, Si An said, glancing at Long Xiao. I might not have time to read them.

His upturned eyes lifted further, the pale golden lashes resembling a delicate eyeliner. Though his gaze had softened, his words remained sharp.

Long Xiao nodded, completely unbothered.

He had noticed it on the very first day his beloved Omega was a cute little liar, his words and heart at odds.

Faced with the Alpha’s completely unbothered and indifferent attitude, Si An felt like he was punching cotton.

Yet, when he looked at Long Xiao, it was hard to stay angry.

The Alpha had kept his promise he only looked at him, always looking at him.

Si An lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions in their depths, and lifted his teacup to take a sip.

A glistening drop of water clung to his pale pink lips, drawing Long Xiao’s gaze.
